🧂 Ingredients

500 grams Octopus Tentacles

cooked, then cut on the bias
1 Sweet Onion

sliced, ideally a Maui onion, but a regular yellow onion can be used in its place
3 tbsp Soy Sauce

add more to taste
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
2 tsp Sesame Oil
2-3 tbsp Green Onions

chopped, add more to taste
1 tsp Red Chili Flakes

optional

Instructions

1 Set a pot of water on a rolling boil. Add the raw octopus tentacles and let boil
for around 18 minutes. Test for done-ness and add for a few more minutes if you
need to (there is a chance your tentacles are larger than mine and in that case
you will need to cook them for longer)
2 Remove tentacles and separate. Place in a sealable container and pop into the
fridge until ready to use.
3 Slice the octopus tentacles on the bias and place in a large mixing bowl. Add in
the rest of the ingredients.
4 Give everything a good mix and place in a sealable container. Place in the
fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
